SELENE – 21165

Selene

Hello, my name is Selene. My animal id is #21165. I am a desexed female blue roan dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 3 years 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a agency on 20-Feb-2018.

3/1/18 Selene is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infection Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

A staff member writes: This beautiful girl, Selene sits so quietly in her kennel and stares at me with those brown eyes and I just have to take her out. Once outside Selene is a bit timid, but immediately opens up and wags her tail excitedly with the help of some delicious treats. She leans in and buries her head in my lap and softly licks my hand making sure to get all the remains of the treats. She gives kisses and stays in my lap to receive all the cuddles. This girl is waiting patiently to come climb into your lap and into your heart furever! Come see her at BACC.

Hx: Scheduled for surgery at Glendale tomorrow S/O: Dog is Q/BARH, nervous (tail down but wagging), allows all handling. BCS 4-5/9. EENT – no obvious ocular or nasal discharge; no sneezing or coughing noted. Heart/lungs auscult wnl. U/G – no obvious tattoo, but there is a small visible and palpable scar just caudal to umbilicus; teats are slightly developed, but vulva is small. A: Dog appears to have scar just caudal to umbilicus, but cannot confirm spayed. Acceptable candidate for elective sx P: Okay for spay at Glendale tomorrow PROGNOSIS: Good

Tag:: 1. Dog follows at the end of the leash, body low and a bit fearful.

Paw squeeze 1:: 3. Dog closes mouth, becomes stiff.

Flank squeeze 1:: 3. Dog head flips while moving hip away.

Flank squeeze 2:: 3. Dog head flips while moving hip away.

Toy:: 1. No interest.

Summary:: Selene came into the assessment room a bit timid and nervous, she was a bit social but needed a lot of coaxing.

Summary (1):: Selene is slightly tense around other dogs. She tolerates most play solicitations, but does not engages. She investigates the pens, occasionally checking in with the other dog. As she continued to participate in group, Selene began to whine and be assertive. She was surrender as a stray so her past behavior with other dogs is unknown. The Behavior Department recommends that Selene be placed in a home with resident dogs that are well socialized and matches her calm demeanor. 2/21: When off leash at the Care Centers, Selene is tense, and slow moving around the male helper dog. She investigates the pens, while tolerating his play solicitations. 2/22: Selene displayed assertive behavior-whining, attempting to mount- with a nervous soft dog. 2/23: Today, Selene was more social and tolerant of soft male dog. She whines throughout her session, while exploring the area.

Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to how uncomfortable Selene is currently with touch and novel stimuli, we feel that an adult-only home would be most beneficial at this time.

Potential challenges: : Handling/touch sensitivity,Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Handling/touch sensitivity: Dog has been noted to become uncomfortable with handling at times, especially when a person is reaching over her. It is important to always go slow and give dog the option to walk away from any social interaction. Dog should never be forced to approach anything that she is uncomfortable with or to submit to petting or handling. It should always be Dog’s choice to approach a new person or thing. Dog may do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to her new surroundings. Fearful: Though observed to be human-social, Selene may need time to warm up to the handler as she initially presents as a fearful dog, avoiding contact, shying away from direct touch. We recommend allowing Selene to interact at her own pace, force-free, rewarding based training is advised when introducing her to new/unfamiliar situations.

‘Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many’ – anonymous

Do not deprive Selene of the privilege of growing old by denying her a home… Selene is only 3 years old and has many more years if she can survive this night. Adopt or foster lovely Selene, a silver girl with a timid and gentle manner. She has a hesitant but gentle smile in her intake photo!

Selene means ‘ Moon Goddess’ …indeed in her silvery co4at, Selene is as dazzling as a winter’s moon! Selene was known in Greek mythology to have fallen in love with a mere mortal…be the mortal who captures the heart of our beautiful goddess, Selene.

SELENE IS BEING PURPOSELY SET UP FOR FAILURE!!!!! Selene might as well have been labled NH with the attention she has gotten at the shelter..I have a real bad feeling that is Selene is not adopted or fostered today..ACC will kill her..No volunteer notes, and no videos with one picture is a dead givaway..PLEASE someone come to her rescue and save her life..Fostering is free, and it temporary and you saved Selene’s life..A rescue will not pull a dog to safety unless there is a home to put them in..Rescues do not house the dogs they pull to safety..So please open your heart and home to Selene and save her life..ACC plans on killing this scared girl..Contact Help Desk on Rescues who offer free fostering, or if you need transport within 3 hour distance..HURRY!!

Thank you for giving Selene a video..I am guessing because of the bad weather ACC did not destroy dogs today.. Selene is smaller than I thought, and so very sweet..She reminds me of shy April..In honor of sweet April who was only given one chance for adoption, while the other two NH dogs with her got 2 times and lived..Let’s find Selene her new home..Adopt or Foster Selene..That is the only way Selene will make it out of this horrible place alive…A Rescue will not pull a dog to safety unless there is a home for the dog to go..Consider fostering..It’s free …It’s temporary and you saved Selene’s life…Contact Help Desk on Rescues who offer free fostering..

Selene is gorgeous. What a coat. But damnit, do they ALL have kennel cough?? I fear, I fear reading “Due to Medical.” Sorry, hate to be a downer. They are just ALL so beautiful, so striking, original in their own way, and I know it’s a lot of dogs that NEED HELP TODAY, NEED SAVING, and I worry.
Save Selene. Such a pretty, young girl who needs someone to love her, to make her know she is loved and safe.

Every time an animal is pictured in a newspaper hundreds of people line up and they always get adopted.
Wish ACC would do that. I know these animals would get adopted
But I know ACC will never do that
A while ago my dad saw a PUP for adoption in the paper and called and almost 200 people filled out adoption papers.
